Zaanse Schans

Our last full day in Europe was spent exploring Holland, specifically Volendam, a fishing village, and a tourist trap called Zaanse Schans. Volendam is on the water with plenty of restaurants offering Dutch fish dishes, a stroopwafel factory (a must see for every single person alive), and gift shops galore. Zaanse Schans is a recreation of a traditional Dutch village and has clog making, cheese making, chocolate making, tons of windmills, and one of the most beautiful men on the face of the Earth. This guy is a younger Dutch Gerard Butler. I have a major thing for Gerard Butler, so I just kind of stared in awe at this fine creation before my eyes. Sadly, my pictures of him don’t him any justice. The whole town is quite photogenic, and you can stock up on plenty of Dutch goodies to take home.
